Sorry that I‘m so invested in that but that’s my ADHD brain.

Exactly that! But homes and garden photoshoot must have been done earlier (the interview was on March 23rd when he was seen with the interviewer and we got that awkward prank TikTok in the park).

You can see only the colazione tattoo in the pic when he's getting into the water ( https://www.google.com/search?g=harry+styles+homes+and+garden&tbm=isch& hI=de&chips=q:harry+styles+homes+and+garden online_chips:photoshoot:cdoElq3m8s%3D&rlz =1CDGOYI_enDE876DE876&sa=X&ved=2ahUKE winz9_xyb6AAxV_ricCHdwTBCcQ4IYoAHoECAE

QBQ&biw=390&bih=669#imgrc=|9JhWSd×67G

PSM ). He's wearing really tiny pants and you would be able to see it in those pics IF he had it by then. Apparently you can see it in the as it was mv which was done sometime around mid to end to February (we got pap pics at the barbican (according to the article that was done on the 27th of February) so the indoor scenes must have been done shortly before or after that) as well

( https://www.tumblr.com/twopoppies/724494989930921984/did-he-have-the-tattoo-for-the-as-it-was-video )

So that’s just all confusing. Do the eyes play tricks in the as it was mv? Because timeline is:

-as it was mv February (tattoo apparently)

-better homes & garden march (no tattoo)

-daylight mv beginning of May (tattoo)

Like ????

I honestly have no flipping idea

the committee on tactical combat casualty care actually released updated guidelines, regarding the efficacy of certain adjuncts, and found that existing evidence supports the practice of cuddling me for 10+ hours

Is Creativity a SuperPower?

Is Creativity a SuperPower?

In her book Creatrix: She Who Makes, Lucy H. Pearce writes that ‘creativity is our superpower’.

I’ve never thought of creativity as a superpower. For me, it feels as essential and automatic as breathing. Breathing is not a superpower to me. It’s life-giving. Life-necessary.

What if I step back and consider the possibility that creativity is a superpower? That in some way, its very presence has…

💅Earlier this week I got a gel manicure, and it did not turn out well at all (scroll through to see the turquoise nails that look like I did them myself). By the time I made it home they looked awful. I don't like confrontation, but I wanted to get what I paid for, so I had resolved to call and ask if it would be possible to get it fixed. Not gonna lie, my stomach was in knots about it! I have had some baaadddd customer service experiences in my day. So I was so shocked to see this message on my phone: . . 📳"Hi, just checking on your nails. I didn't think the gel was sticking to them correctly last night. I let them bake extra time. How do they look today? If they are not, we can try it again if you like, no charge..." . . 💅I was so pleasantly surprised that she had went that extra mile and took responsibility. She redid them today, and they look great this time (isn't this such a fun shade of pink?)! She refused to let me pay or even tip her again, but she was thinking big because not only am I going to be bragging about this experience, but this has turned me into a loyal customer. No matter what industry you're in, good customer service is the most valuable asset you have, and it's free! And sadly, it is vastly overlooked by most companies. Remember how powerful it can be to simply smile, act like you give a crap, and treat the person on the other side of the register like a human being. It makes a tremendous difference! 💗 #collectivethoughtsandrubbish #thinkingbig #bethechange #customerservice #changessalon #personalresponsibility #qbq (at Changes Hair Salon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1NIjtxnpNS/?igshid=1ds5ti8brx7r9

You know, sometimes I give fandom people a lot of flak for thinking that an anime character is younger because they don't have massive gazongas for boobs but then DW comes around and just gives us Martha in a Santa costume and the only hint in the design that she's younger is her tits are smaller. So really, I'm just mad at both of you. Go sit in time out.

Martha is a bit of an interesting Servant to drop on us. It's not really a question on if she's good (she is), it's more a question of just exactly how good she is. Since my opinion currently is that she's not as good of a support as Da Vinci Lily, take that as you will for my overall impressions. Let's start off by looking at her fundamentals though.

For a support Caster, you're going to find the exact stats you'd imagine. Very high HP offset by a very low ATK which is hurt even more by the Caster ATK multiplier. Martha isn't in the business of bashing heads any time soon, but given her clear role, these stats are fine, good even. Hans is still good despite the fact that his damage is absolutely anemic after all. Her generation stats actually give a lot to be excited about though. Her 2 Arts cards are both very good and her Quicks will also do well in both star and NP generation. Her AQA chain will usually generate around 35%, her AQQ chain will generate about 29% but also come with on average 20 crit stars, with a QBQ chain generating around 21 stars on average. With her NP factored in completely, she's basically guaranteed to generate 50 crit stars with an NPQQ chain, which is pretty impressive for a Caster. Turns out having 2 Quick cards with good hit counts is a hell of a drug.

Her first skill is also easily her best, providing a solid Attack steroid, a max HP buff, and a 20% gauge charge. All of the effects here work together and are hard to waste, making this a pretty simple fire and forget kind of skill. The Max HP buff is generally considered a better version of a heal since it can't be wasted at all (although it is vulnerable to buff removal) so all in all, its very strong. Pretty similar in power level to Sima Yi's second skill, which comes with a demerit, all on a good cooldown.

Her second skill also has synergy with her 1st skill, providing an additional 20% def drop for all enemies, but also being an AoE NP Seal. It's not as powerful as Beni-Enma or Baobhan Sith's mass NP seal, but it is still wildly better than Benkei's. I'm pretty salty about that actually. NP Seal is preferred over NP Drain since its not vulnerable to charge skills, which are basically everywhere, even if it does play into Debuff resistance and what not. It's another perfectly good skill.

Moving on to her third skill and...I'm generally pretty conflicted about it. The NP charge attached to it is great for several reasons, the main one being that it will allow her to instantly NP with a 50% NP Charge CE and her Append Skill, but also it has synergy with her 1st skill as well, giving Martha the ability to charge her NP guage by 50% combined. On the other hand, the other effects are a bit random and not quite powerful enough. The Star Absorb is great for allowing basically any Servant to reliably crit, but it only lasts for 1 turn, and 10 crit stars is okay. The biggest downfall with this skill is that the star absorb being only one turn means you can't use this to climb to her NP and use the star absorb for powerful NP boosted crits as reliably. It's best used the turn after her NP, but that misses out on a bit of the power of the NP charge. It's a decent skill but has some pretty clear problems and doesn't really...fit on her kit.

Martha's NP is where things get really interesting. First, it's a Quick support NP, which means she can make natural QQQ chains. With the 20 crit stars from her NP, this means than an NPQQ chain comes out with a guaranteed 30 crit stars, and she can also generate 10 more crit stars with her 3rd skill. It gives Martha a really solid amount of guaranteed crit star generation along with her good natural star gen, which is very unique for a Caster. Her NP will also provide another 20% Attack buff and a 50% anti-Demon, Divine, or Undead damage buff. Martha also has the ability to ramp up damage very quickly, providing a combined 70% Attack bonus and a 50% Special damage bonus. It's main use will mostly be against Divine Servants, since Demon is a very small niche as well as Undead, but those do have their purposes none the less. Both steroids will combine nicely into a 155% (or x 2.55) damage steroid, which is really impressive.

Oh the NP also provides a full party heal as well. Just, as an aside.

Support Options:

There really isn't a lot here to truly say, because Martha is not really meant to be a DPS and is more meant to be a generically usable support. She can benefit from other incidental NP charges, such as from Waver, Merlin, or Castoria, who she works well with, or from some DPS like Barghest. She'll also work well with supports who can provide strong critical damage bonuses since Martha helps out a lot with crit consistency. She seems almost deliberately good to pair up with Skadi as a result of the way their kits synergize with each other: Martha provides heals, crit stars, and star absorb while Skadi provides crit damage and both hard and soft survival options. She's not really meant for stall teams either despite the AoE Heal on her NP.

Command Code: As a support, Martha tends to predipose herself towards command codes that offer generally usable benefits, like star gen, buff removal, or party wide effects. Magus of Flowers can be used in order to capitalize on her already good NP gen, but it might be better off on other supports. Since she's good at generating crit stars on her own, it can be tempting to use Star Absorb CCs on her Arts cards to make them more likely to crit, but remember that her damage tends to be on the low side because of her extremely low ATK.

Craft Essences: The choice of Craft Essence will actually depend on the status of her Append Skill, and since her Servant Coins are easily obtainable due to being a welfare, it's worth discussing. Any 50% NP Charge CE with a Level 10 Mana Loading will allow Martha to instantly NP with her 3rd skill at Level 10, opening up a wide variety of options, such as Golden Carp for more initial crit stars, NP Gen to make her NP more consistent, or Arts/Quick card up for similar reasons. Otherwise, she'll have to use 75%+ NP gen CEs to instantly NP. If you don't quite need an immediate NP, CEs like Prisma Cosmos or Maid in Halloween also provide good benefits, a lot of HP as well as either NP regen or increased HP recovery, both of which Martha appreciates.

Append Skills: Level her Append skills 2 and 1 and then skip number 3. Anti-Ruler damage is funny but amongst some of the worst appends you can give to a Caster, who already has bad damage and class disadvantage and won't benefit from the increased attack. Mana Loading is essential for 50% NP charge CE set-ups, while the Extra card bonus makes her more middling Extra card a lot more potent.

Grails: Don't. She gets so very little from Grailing. Do it for love or if you want to make her a memey anti-Divine crit damage dealer but avoid the possibility otherwise.

Competition: Delineating Martha's competition is a little complicated, because she's clearly not as good as Koyanskaya, Oberon, Skadi, Merlin, or Castoria. They're just better than she is for one reason or another. However, Martha is purely generic support which means that her competition is more along the lines of Waver or Sima Yi, which is compounded by the fact that all new players will be able to get one of those two guaranteed. They both provide way more charge than she does at 50% compared to 20%, which is a huge deal, while also providing strong defensive options that Martha doesn't. This isn't to say that Martha doesn't work well with either of them (she's quite good with Waver specifically) but it is worth thinking about whether you would run Waver / Martha over Waver / Waver, Waver / Merlin, or Waver / Castoria. Add on top of that the fact that Da Vinci Ruler just came out, and has a way more tuned kit that's more synergistic with more modern playstyles, providing card bonuses and NP generation.

Pros:

-1st skill is very strong

-NP drain is a great status to inflict

-Provides A LOT of damage steroids even if they're mostly confined to one type

-Can produce surprising amounts of crit stars thanks to good Quick cards and a bevy of potential guarantees

-NP generation is quite good

Cons:

-no defensive tools in her kit what so ever, so damage will quickly outpace her ability to heal

-damage is somewhat conditional, meaning she won't always perform at max capacity

-her kit is a bit...unfocused for a lack of a better word. you have a number of good skills and a good NP but they don't totally synergize. This lack of focus creates problems in establishing a niche

Conclusion: Really, the biggest problem with Martha isn't that she isn't good. She is, pretty clearly good. But in a niche like Support Caster, which has a ton of units already and competition from good stand outs like Da Vinci Rule or Koyanskaya / Oberon, you really need to find some way of solidifying yourself. Martha provides a lot of offensive potential but requires conditions to be met to do so, and she does so at the cost of a lot of NP charge that other supports provide. She provides some sustain but not enough to really justify using her in stall teams. She's very good at providing critical stars but doesn't really provide much in the way of critical amp power that other supports do. She's left truly feeling kind of stuck in the middle on everything.

However. This being said, she is free, and she's still really good if you're fighting Divine enemies, especially if you're using a critical focused Servant. She also works good as a supplementary support to other supports, since crit stars and heals are something that's often missing. She's probably not going to be your first, or maybe even your second choice of support, but you probably will still being able to find a slot for her on a team often enough.

In essence...soundly, firmly, good, and nothing else.
